Keynote - Day 1 Closing
summary
A hardware startup story that moves from Johnny-Five and Arduino experiments to a funded product: wins an innovation award at Node Knockout out of roughly 700 teams, interviews over 100 teenagers to pivot from color-changing lockets to a Bluetooth mesh of wearable charms, prototypes use NeoPixels and an RFduino, one injection-molded flower costs about $800, miniaturized boards sit just larger than a quarter with a 4×4 mm Nordic BLE chip, user-tested works-like and looks-like prototypes mostly function, drones demoed via node ar‑drone crash sometimes.
